Sphagnum moss can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of water inside their cells; plants may hold 16 to 26 times as much water as their dry weight, depending on the species.

How to Use

Sphagnum moss will expand significantly when you add water.  Add water slowly until it is moist and fluffy.

Add Sphagnum moss to a container and your crabs will eat it and nest in it.

Place the container near your heat pad and it will help create humidity. Re-wet as needed.

Replace the moss when your container is more debris than moss. Sphagnum lasts a long time.
